However, not everything was so friendly and harmonious during this expedition to sea.

When the Endurance docked at the port of Hokkaido for repairs, Laura and Whitman had a huge difference of opinion...

. . .

Dinner time, in the dining room of the cabin.

When Laura raised different opinions on the direction of navigation, and revealed some doubts in the words, Whitman blew up like a cat whose tail was stepped on:

"Laura, how do you think I'm not taking this expedition seriously?!"

"Not only did Samantha's family give us financial assistance, but I also invested my life savings..."

Looking at Whitman who was a little angry, a black woman sitting at the dining table couldn't help but interjected:

"We each take our own risk in this matter, we won't have a steady stream of money, Whitman..."

This black woman is the mechanic on the Endurance, named Reyes.

According to Lu Qi's observation, she has some kind of intimate relationship with Ross, the captain of the Endurance...

On the other side, Laura, who was supported, immediately pointed to the nautical chart on the desktop and said loudly:

"That's right, that's why we should go east more than west."

"No one would believe that Yamatai is so far east, and it's not written in those books!"

Hearing this, Samantha, who was sitting opposite Reyes and was reading an old book, casually supported her best friend:

"Whoever wrote these books, they never found Yamatai..."

"I spoke to Ross about this, we shouldn't be following in the footsteps of our predecessors, Dr. Whitman."

Facing Laura's resolute attitude, Whitman was a little overwhelmed, and finally chose to show his identity to suppress the opponent's momentum:

"It is impossible for me to risk my reputation for your intuition! I am the chief archaeologist here, and I have the final say!"

Hearing Whitman's words, Lu Qi, who was standing by the stove and helping Jonas share the dinner, seemed to hear something ridiculous, and the corner of his mouth curled up in contempt.

He knew that Laura's intuition was correct.

The legendary "Lost Kingdom" Yamatai is indeed in the Dragon Triangle!

Even so, he didn't chime in.

Because there are already enough people on Laura's side, and he is not one behind.

The most important thing is that the person who actually made the decision hasn't spoken yet...

Chapter 256 Dragon Triangle, Storm

Inside the restaurant, the debate continued.

And Laura's supporters are getting more and more.

"So when was the last expedition you filmed with a team?"

Hearing that Mr. Green, the oldest person, also joined in, Whitman immediately put on a brick face, and countered with sarcasm:

"I have 30 years of experience in archaeology, two doctorates, one specializing in East Asian history, you can actually stay on the sailboat and steer it, Mr. Green?"

"The ship! It's a ship, Dr. Whitman. You don't need a Ph.D. to tell..."

Ignoring the whisper of the old helmsman, Laura's voice sounded in Whitman's ear again:

"Dr. Whitman, if you continue eastward, you can directly enter the Dragon Triangle, and that is our destination!"

Before Whitman opened his mouth to refute, Jonah, who was holding two plates of potato salad on the table, couldn't help but say:

"Dear Laura, I would like to follow you to the ends of the earth, but the place you mentioned seems not very good..."

Any place with a "triangle", whether it is the Golden Triangle, Bermuda Triangle, or Dragon Triangle, is not a good place to go.

The Dragon Triangle, located in the North Pacific Ocean and the coastal waters of Japan, is also known as the "Devil's Sea". Like the Bermuda Triangle, it is a mysterious sea area where plane and ship accidents occur frequently, but no reason can be found.

Obviously, everyone was a little scared to enter such a dangerous area.

At this time, Alex, who was sitting on the side and had been fiddling with the laptop, also echoed:

"It's not very good, but it's more like a terrible storm...Bermuda is like Disney World compared to the Dragon Triangle..."

Hearing this, Laura frowned, still insisting on her intuition:

"It is said that Queen Himiko can call out a storm, and the legend usually has some basis. What if Yamatai is really somewhere in the Dragon Triangle?!"

Looking at the determined Laura, Alex turned the laptop around and turned the screen to everyone:

"Look, this is a satellite image of the Dragon Triangle..."

"Looks very bad..."

"If it rains, let me take the helm."

Listening to the conversations of the people, it seems that they have decided to move forward to the Dragon Triangle, and Whitman can't help but speak out quickly, planning to make a final struggle:

"Oh, you're not serious, are you..."

Before the words fell, Rose, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke:

"enough!"

"Reyes is right. We have no capital to squander. We must seize this opportunity. Laura has already proposed a brand new idea and plan. I am the captain of this ship, and I have the final say!"

"Let's go to the Dragon Triangle!"

Rose's speech made Whitman immediately understand that his reputation and status on this ship had no influence at all.

"Is there anyone here who cares about me?"

Leaving such a resentful sentence, he picked up his share of dinner, walked aside, and went to sulk alone.

Seeing this, Lu Qi, who had been staying out of the matter, took two dinners, put them on the table, and said to everyone:

"No matter where we go, we have to fill our stomachs..."

His words were echoed by everyone.

"Lu Qi is right, after the dinner is over, let's discuss the next plan..."

. . . . . .

After making the decision to go to the Dragon Triangle, the Endurance, which was replenishing supplies, left Hokkaido and headed south all the way.

A few days later, the Endurance came to the coast of Japan, getting closer and closer to its destination, the Dragon Triangle.

However, the closer to the storm circle around the Dragon Triangle, Laura, who has always been very firm with her intuition, began to think, what should I do if my intuition is wrong?

Even though she has read all those ancient documents, archaeological materials, and navigation logs, even when she closes her eyes, the information is full, and the deep uneasiness still lingers in her mind, lingering...

Fortunately, there is Rose who is like a father by her side.

Since the death of Laura's father, Rose has been taking care of her, not only taking her around to explore, but also teaching her a lot of life principles and knowledge needed for adventure.

It can be said that Rose contributed a lot to Laura on the road to becoming a "tomb destroyer" and "little expert in demolition".

Under Rose's enlightenment, Laura quickly cheered up and began to look forward to a wonderful encounter with Yamatai.

Unlike Laura, Lu Qi, who knew that this expedition would not be easy, has already begun to prepare for the coming storm...

. . .

Time: June 6, 25:11 p.m.

Location: Dragon Triangle, south of the Sea of ​​Japan

rumbling...

The sea surface and the sky seem to be connected together, and the dark clouds cover the entire sea area.

Lightning flashes and thunder roars, the wind howls, and waves several meters high hit the surface.

This is the precarious situation that the Endurance is facing all the time after entering the Dragon Triangle area.

clap clap...

Bean-sized raindrops kept hitting the hull, making piercing noises.

Even through the window of the cabin, Lu Qi could feel that the storm was like a demon with claws and claws, constantly impacting on the Endurance, trying to pull it into the dark water.

"Damn! No signal at all!"

Following the prestige, seeing the four-eyed brother still fiddling with his laptop, Lu Qi's expression became serious, and he reminded in a deep voice:

"Alex, it's not going well, you'd better get a life jacket."

After all, without waiting for the other party to answer, Lu Qi jumped off the bed, quickly put on the waterproof windbreaker and hiking shoes, and carried the hiking bag on his back.

"I'll go to other..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

Only a loud "bang" was heard, and the hull of the Endurance shook violently!

In the next second, the light in the cabin was lost, replaced by a flashing red warning light!

The whole ship also began to slowly tilt to the left, and the four-eyed brother who was caught off guard was immediately thrown to the ground.

"What happened?!"

Lu Qi didn't answer him, but reached out and grabbed the edge of the door, trying to stabilize his body balance, while reaching out to help Alex up, and walked towards the door together.

When the two came to the corridor, they found that the sea water was pouring in, and soon

Seeing this, Alex couldn't help opening his mouth slightly, his face full of shock:

"My goodness!"

The hull kept shaking, Lu Qi couldn't help frowning, looked at the four-eyed brother, and asked:

"The ship is sinking! Alex, can you go?"

"Yes, what do you want to do?"

"You move towards the deck right now, if you stay in the cabin, you will only sink with the whole ship!"

Alex, who realized the seriousness of the matter, nodded immediately, and then asked as if thinking of something:

"how about you?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi casually took out a life jacket from his bag, threw it to Alex, and then said seriously:

"I'm going to see the others!"

Chapter 257 Under the eyes of the eagle, there is nothing to hide [Please recommend tickets! 】

After living on the Endurance for a month, Lu Qi has a basic understanding of the structure of the entire ship.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he stepped on the rising water level while holding on to the bulkhead of the corridor, and quickly moved to the right.

His purpose, very clear, is the crew room where Laura and Samantha are!

Lu Qi can't control the others.But these two girls, save!

The crew room where the two girls are located is on the lower floor.

Judging from the knee-high water level, the situation in the lower cabin must be more serious.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help speeding up his pace.

The hull was still tilting backwards, with a steep angle close to [-] degrees, making it more difficult for Lu Qi to move forward.

The only good news is that due to the inclination of the hull, the accumulated water in the corridor also flowed out of the cabin.

When Lu Qi tried his best to reach the end of the corridor and turned the corner, he happened to see a huge gap.

Obviously, the entire Endurance has been torn in half by the terrible storm.

bang bang!

Following the prestige, Lu Qi saw the watertight hatch leading to the cabin on the next floor, which was firmly closed.

And under the waterproof glass window of the watertight cabin, it is Laura who is about to be submerged in seawater!

Seeing this, Lu Qi's eyes narrowed, and he immediately rushed to the watertight hatch, violently opened the hatch, then reached out and grabbed Laura's hand, pulling her out of the water!
